Welcome to
The Faces of Biology Contest
Biological research is transforming our society and the world. Help the public and policymakers to better understand the breadth of biology by entering our Faces of Biology photo contest.
About the Contest
The theme of the contest is "Faces of Biology." Photographs entered into the contest must depict a person, such as a scientist, researcher, collections curator, technician, or student, engaging in biological research. The depicted research may occur outside, in a lab, with a natural history collection, on a computer, in a classroom, or elsewhere. Help communicate science through imagery.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how science is being conducted in 2020. You are invited to share how you are conducting your research in these unusual times.
Prizes
The First Place Winner will have their photo featured on the cover of BioScience, and will receive $250 and a one year subscription to BioScience.
The Second and Third Place Winners will have their photos printed inside BioScience, and will receive a one year subscription to BioScience.
The contest has now ended and will take place again in April 2021.
Our winners from 2011 through today!
